E6-17085 Filed 10-13-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-HC-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Minerals Management Service Chukchi Sea Planning Area Oil and Gas Lease Sale 193 and Seismic Surveying Activities in the Chukchi Sea AGENCY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior. ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS)and associated Public Hearings. SUMMARY: The purpose of the proposed Federal action addressed in this DEIS (OCS EIS/EA MMS 2006-060) is to offer for lease areas in the Chukchi Sea Outer Continental Shelf

(OCS)that might contain economically recoverable oil and gas resources. This lease sale would provide qualified bidders the opportunity to bid on certain blocks in the Chukchi Sea OCS to gain conditional rights to explore, develop, and produce oil and natural gas. This DEIS is the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)analysis to enable the Minerals Management Service

(MMS)to make informed decisions on the configuration of the lease sale and the applicable mitigation measures. In the DEIS, the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts of the sale, including estimated exploration and development and production activities related to the sale, on the physical, biological, and human environments in the Chukchi Sea area are analyzed. The DEIS also provides NEPA evaluation for exploration activities in the Chukchi Sea, including seismic survey geophysical permitting (30 CFR 251), ancillary activities (30 CFR 250.207), and exploration plans (30 CFR 250.214). In addition, the DEIS will provide NEPA documentation for the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service's

(NMFS)possible issuance of Incidental Harassment Authorizations to the seismic-survey industry to take marine mammals by harassment, incidental to conducting prelease and ancillary on-lease oil and gas seismic surveys in the Chukchi Sea. To address its NEPA responsibilities, the NMFS agreed to become a cooperating agency (as that term is defined in 40 CFR 1501.6) and proposes to adopt the DEIS as authorized by 40 CFR 1506.3 as its own NEPA statement. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this DEIS, the MMS has examined the potential environmental effects of the Proposed Action and its alternatives. The Proposed Action (Alternative I) is to conduct Chukchi Sea OCS Lease Sale 193 in 2007. The resource estimates and scenario information included in this DEIS analysis are presented as a range of activities that could be associated with the sale, including exploration seismic surveying, on-lease ancillary activities, exploration and delineation drilling, development and production of OCS oil and gas resources, and lease abandonment. The Proposed Action would offer for lease approximately 6,155 whole and partial blocks (about 34 million acres) identified as the program area in the 2002-2007 5-Year Program. The proposed Sale 193 area excludes a 15- to 50-mile (mi)-wide corridor along the coast, the polynya or spring lead system. Water depths in the sale area vary from about 95 feet

(ft)to approximately 262 ft. A small portion of the northeast corner of the area deepens to approximately 9,800 ft. Alternative II (No Lease Sale) is equivalent to cancellation of the Proposed Action as scheduled in the approved 5-Year Program. The opportunity for development of the estimated oil and gas resources that could have resulted from the Proposed Action would be precluded or postponed, and any potential environmental impacts resulting from the Proposed Action would not occur or would be postponed. Alternative III (Corridor I Deferral) is the Proposed Action excluding an area comprising approximately 1,649 whole or partial blocks along the coastward edge of the sale area. This alternative would attempt to reduce potential impacts to subsistence hunting as well as various wildlife species and associated habitats. Alternative IV (Corridor II Deferral) is the Proposed Action excluding an area comprising approximately 795 whole or partial blocks along the coastward edge of the sale area. This alternative was developed as a result of the 1987 Biological Opinion for the Chukchi Sea as recommended by the NMFS. The MMS also examines potential environmental effects of prelease seismic survey geophysical permitting. The DEIS includes an analysis of a range of mitigation alternatives for seismic surveys which were previously considered in the Programmatic Environmental Assessment Arctic Ocean Outer Continental Shelf Seismic Surveys—2006. Commenters are invited to identify additional alternatives for MMS's consideration. The Endangered Species Act

(ESA)consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concerning Spectacled and Steller's eiders is ongoing. The NMFS concluded in its Arctic Region Biological Opinion, dated June 2006, that leasing and exploration activities are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the threatened, endangered, or candidate species under their jurisdiction; however, the potential additive effects of oil and gas activities associated with exploration, production, and transportation throughout the Chukchi Sea and neighboring Beaufort Sea is of concern. The NMFS concluded further that activities associated with seismic surveys in the Chukchi Sea may adversely affect but not jeopardize the continued existence of any species listed under the ESA that are under the jurisdiction of the NMFS. *DEIS Availability:* To obtain a copy of the DEIS, you may contact the Minerals Management Service, Alaska OCS Region, 3801 Centerpoint Drive, Suite 500, Anchorage, Alaska 99503-5820, telephone

No. 337-TA-559] In the Matter of Certain Digital Processors and Digital Processing Systems, Components Thereof, and Products Containing Same; Notice of Commission Decision To Review-In-Part the Presiding Administrative Law Judge's Initial Determination Granting Respondents' Motion for Summary Determination of Non-Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,021,945 AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined to review in part the initial determination (“ID”) of the presiding administrative law judge (“ALJ”) issued on September 6, 2006, in the above-captioned investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337. Specifically, the Commission has determined to review the issues of

(1)claim construction of the limitations “logical processor number” and “added to each instruction,”

(2)whether there are genuine issues of material fact precluding summary determination, and

(3)the ALJ's interpretation of the law concerning the doctrine of equivalents. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christal A. Sheppard, Esq., telephone 202-708-2301, Office of the General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20436. Copies of all non-confidential documents filed in connection with this investigation are or will be available for inspection during official business hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20436, telephone 202-205-2000. General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing its Internet server ( *http://www.usitc.gov* ). The public record for this investigation may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS-ON-LINE) at *http://dockets.usitc.gov/eol.public.* Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information on the matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted on January 17, 2006, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Biax Corporation (“Biax”) of Boulder, Colorado. 71 FR 2565 (January 17, 2006). The complaint asserts a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United States, sale for importation, or sale within the United States after importation of certain digital processors and digital processing systems, components thereof, and products containing the same by reason of infringement of one or more claims of three U.S. patents including U.S. Patent No. 5,021,945 (“the `945 patent”). 71 FR 2565 (January 17, 2006). The notice of investigation named five respondents but was subsequently amended first to remove and then to add respondents. Currently, the named respondents are: Philips Semiconductor, Inc.; Philips Electronics North America Corp.; Philips Consumer Electronics B.V.; Philips Semiconductors B.V. (collectively, “Philips”); and 2Wire, Inc. of San Jose, California. On August 7, 2006, Philips moved for summary determination of non-infringement of the three patents at issue. On August 11, 2006, respondent 2Wire filed a motion to join Philips' motion for summary determination. The Commission investigative attorney (“IA”) and Biax opposed the motion for summary determination. On September 6, 2006, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting Philips' motion as to only one of the three asserted patents, the `945 patent. Philips filed a petition for review on September 13, 2006. On September 14, 2006, the IA filed a request to file his petition for review one day past the due date. Neither Biax nor Philips opposes this request. On September 20, 2006, Philips filed combined oppositions to Biax's and the IA's petitions. On September 21, 2006, Biax filed a supplement to its petition for review. On September 28, 2006, respondents opposed the supplement. The Commission's rules do not provide for additional filings unless requested by the Commission. 19 CFR 210.43(d)(2). Therefore, we have not considered the supplement or the response. Whether the additional filings should be admitted into the record is an evidentiary matter that we leave, in the first instance, to the ALJ. The Commission, having examined the petitions for review, the responses thereto, and the relevant portions of the record has determined to review the following issues:

(1)Claim construction of the limitations “logical processor number” and “added to each instruction,”

(2)whether there are genuine issues of material fact precluding summary determination, and

(3)the ALJ's interpretation of the law concerning the doctrine of equivalents. The Commission has also granted the IA's request to file his petition out of time. This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and sections 210.43 and 210.45(c) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.43 and 210.45(c)). Issued: October 10, 2006. By order of the Commission. Marilyn R. Abbott, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc.
